Negotiation is only way out of war, Ukraine’s Zelensky says
He renewed his calls for talk with his Russian counterpart Putin
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday renewed his plea for talks with his Russian counterpart, taking to US television to say negotiations were the only way to “end this war.”
“I’m ready for negotiations with him,” Zelensky told CNN show “Fareed Zakaria GPS,” referring to Russia’s Vladimir Putin, whose deadly attack of Ukraine is in its fourth week.
“I think without negotiations we cannot end this war,” the Ukrainian leader said through a translator.
The reiteration of Zelensky’s call for peace talks came as he and other Ukrainians accused Russia of committing war crimes after authorities said the attacking forces had bombed a school sheltering some 400 people in the besieged city of Mariupol.
“Russian forces have come to exterminate us, to kill us,” said Zelensky.
The leader, who has emerged as a national hero for his very public stance against Putin and his forces, has spoken of Ukrainians’ fierce resistance to the assault and told Russia that several thousand of its soldiers have died in battle so far.
“If there is just one per cent chance for us to stop this war, I think that we need to take this chance... to have the possibility of negotiating, the possibility of talking to Putin,” he said.
“If these attempts fail, that would mean that this is a third world war.”
